On Thursday the free MLB Totals Play is on the Over in the Cleveland at Toronto game. Rotation numbers 969/970 at 7:05 eastern. This game looks like a good spot for a higher scoring game. Both Pitchers are of mediocre spring trainings and have been hit pretty good vs their opponents tonight. B. Myers makes the start for Cleveland and his spring was particularly miserable as he pitched to a 9.00 era allowing 21 earned runs in 21 innings and opposing hitter batted .383 against him. In his lone start here he lost and allowed 7 runs in 6+ innings good for a 6.75 era. Tonight he will take on M. Buehrle who is making his regular season debut for the Jays. Buehrle has allowed 19 earned runs in 29 innings vs Cleveland in home starts and allowed 13 earned runs in 19 innings in 2 starts vs the Indians last season. His spring was very average as he allowed 9 earned runs in 18 innings and allowed a .307 batting average against. Both teams struggled at the plate last night, look for this one to go over the total.

The Indians and Jays will wrap up a three-game set with Brett Myers against Mark Buehrle. Brett Myers makes his return to the starting rotation after spending all of 2011 as a reliever and he had some issues with the transition in Spring Training. Myers repeatedly tired in the 4th and 5th inning of his starts and a starter leaving the game early means that the manager has to use the less attractive options out of the bullpen to preserve his more reliable arms for the later innings. Myers has posted an above average ground ball rate throughout his career, which could be harmful to him both on turf and with the Indians' mediocre infield defense.

Mark Buehrle could find out that pitching on turf for all of your home games is not the most fun thing for a pitcher. The crafty southpaw makes his return to the American League with a home start in Toronto, where he has allowed 22 runs and 37 hits in six starts. On turf for his career, Buehrle has a 4.37 ERA. Unlike last season, when the Indians struggled mightily against left handed pitching, they should be much better this season. They added switch hitter Nick Swisher, right handed power bat Mark Reynolds, Drew Stubbs, who hits lefties quite well, and Mike Aviles, who is an above average hitter against southpaws. Carlos Santana hits 45 average points better against lefties and has an OPS that is 70 points higher.

With Myers's fatigue issues, Buehrle's struggles on turf, and two offenses that match up pretty well against these two starters, this game should go over the total.

No this is not a misprint, I am saying stay on the Mets on the same odds as yesterday. Facing a lefthander didn't phase the lefthanded power in the New York lineup and the much travelled Eric Stults is hardly an imposing figure.

New York again has an advantage on the hill with Dillon Gee, who is 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA against San Diego lifetime. The Mets can complete an unexpected series sweep to start the season.
